Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre Main Hall
Space overview
This is the venue’s largest indoor space. Built in the early 20th century, the historic interior was completed in later decades in the art deco style with plaster sconces and other geometric features. From the arched ceiling hang three unique and fully functioning pendent chandeliers.
The Main Hall is routinely used for a range of theatre, dance, music, and comedy performances as well as markets, seminars and talks. Its standard configuration is a tiered seating bank which seats up to 108 people, but it can support events of up to 350 people in standing, flat-floor or banquet configurations. It comes with a standard lighting rig and PA with the option to hire additional technical infrastructure. Above the partially wood-lined walls to the north of the hall, is the balcony, which was fully renovated and reinforced in 2020 and is often used by sound and lighting technicians to control audio and visual aspects of performances.
The Main Hall is located on the ground floor of the Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre right in the heart of the bustling High Street precinct.
